Thank you for stopping by the Weather Watch 12 Blog! Finally...snow lovers can rejoice!

In this blog we will check out snow totals from around the area and also focus on the frigid temperatures.

Let's start with snow totals. Most locations fell in the 4 to 6 inch range, with a few spots slightly higher or lower. If you have a total to share, please post it to the comments section below or to our Facebook page, Wisconsin Weather Updates

There could be a few leftover flurries or snow showers Friday, but no additional snow accumulation is expected. The focus quickly shifts to frigid temperatures. Highs will hang close to 20 today, but winds chills will remain in the single digits above and below zero.

The coldest temperatures of the season arrive tonight. With a fresh snow cover and some breaks in the clouds tonight, readings should dip to the single digits. If skies clear for a time, some locations may fall to around zero. Below is the forecast temperature map at 7am Saturday. A chilly start to the weekend!

Looking ahead, a few snow showers or flurries are possible late Saturday, but the focus is really on early next week. Another area of low pressure will move into the Great Lakes. The exact path of the storm is still in question. But with more cold air flooding in the precipitation could once again be snow, or a mix to snow. Below is the GFS computer model forecast at midnight Tuesday. Let's keep a close eye on this system! We are now in a much more active part of our cycling weather pattern the LRC.

Make sure to watch WISN 12 News for updates on next week's system. In the meantime, drop off you snow total below and any weather questions or comments.
